This version of Djed is the first track on the cd Tortoise Remixed. It's followed by another version Tjed. Tjed is a remix by Tortoise's multi instramentalist & brilliant drummer John Mc Entire.The cd "Remixed" is a collection of 4-12" singles all lifted & reworked from the monumental album "Millions now living will never die". Some of the 8 tracks bare little resemblance to their former selfs, they are snippets of sound reworked. Whilst the tracks like Djej retain the thread of the original.

Tortoiseで一番、戦慄したのはこの曲だと思う。いまでも­トラウマが続ずいているかも知れん。マッケンタイア先生、どうし­たら！

[sibafutukuri]

[brianthebutterfly]

Awesome.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Man, great cover of an absolutely amazing song. "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" will easily be one of my all-time favorites albums for a very very long time...

[ososatanico666]

I've been looking about this for some time. So this is a remix made by UNKLE right? Because I wasn't too sure that this was 100% Tortoise, and I had listened the 20 min version and didn't seem fit that it was the same song.

8 min by UNKLE and 20 min by Tortoise, right?

[umatique]

yes it's the UNKLE remix that came out as a 12"

[Spankensteiner]

The original song is almost 20 minutes long, and switches up like 4-5 different times. The drummer for "Dead Boy and The Elephant Man" turned me on to this kind of music, and then I bought "Millions Now Living Will Never Die." I believe "Tortoise" is EXPERIENCED, like Hendrix, that's how they get their brainwashing like creativity. Good Stuff!!!

[iewiehhw]

yo yo yo yay

[squamam]

wowi wowoowowowooooii

excellent !!

tell me how to do this brain wash ??

[cadenmccann2]

epic, excellent!!!

[Kenedamick]

Johnny Machine on drums

[kontarkorz]

really cool, I heard that the original version of this song lasts about 20 minutes

is it true??

[wentolin]

That's true. But you could actually divide it into three our four movements, sort of. The remix really has not that much to do with the original, except that the samples were taken therefrom.

It's the first track on the "Millions now living will never die" album by the way.

[lovelikefire]

The vocal sample is from Steve Reich.

[kaini]

no, the vocal sample is from a preacher originally sampled by steve reich.

[lovelikefire]

no, Reich was asked to write this piece to be performed at a benefit for the retrial of the Harlem Six, six black youths arrested for committing a murder during the 1964 Harlem riots for which only one of the six was responsible. Truman Nelson, a civil rights activist and the person who had asked Reich to compose the piece, gave him a collection of tapes with recorded voices to use as source material. So there.

The piece reich was commissioned to write was called "come out" it was one of his original tape phasing pieces. Kiani may be mistakenly referring to one of Reich's other tape works, titled, "it's gonna rain" which used a tape recording of a baptist preacher.
